Scientific American, Vol. 72, No. 2 (1895)
A weekly American science and technology magazine, published in New York in 1895 for engineers, inventors and general readers. Its pages mix machine and apparatus engravings with patent notices and trade advertisements. The pictures are crisp black-and-white line engravings of apparatus, vehicles and machinery, showing clear outlines and labelled parts a designer could use as reference for mechanical drawing and period technical illustration.
